Hello beauties!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss in #35 Simply Pink was one of the products from my Estee Lauder Goody Bag (info & photos) which I received a while ago. I never tried any of Pure Color Glosses before and I was super excited to test and wear this shade right away.

My Pure Color Gloss in Simply Pink came in a small sample size tube (4.6 ml / 1.6 fl oz) while the normal size tubes contain 6 ml / 0.20 fl oz of product and retail for $22.50 – £16.00. This color is available at Estee Lauder counters in Europe (@esteelauder.co.uk) but I haven’t seen this shade available online in U.S. Continue reading ‘Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Simply Pink – Review, Photos & Swatches’

Shiseido Lacquer Rouge RS404 for Fall 2012 – Review, Photos & Lip Swatches

Published on May 20, 2012 in Beauty. 4 Comments Tags: 2012 Fall Collection, chic review, lip gloss, Shiseido.

Hello beauties!

First time when I told you about the new Shiseido Lacquer Rouge that is going to be launched this Fall it was in the post were I showed you My makeup products from Shiseido (photos & swatches). I received Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in shade RS404 together with some other makeup products from Shiseido Romania to test and review them.

I don’t know the International Launch Date for this product or the retails price but in Romania it will be available at Shiseido counters in Sephora, Douglas and B&B stored in August – September 2012. I will return with more info and promo photos once they will become available.

The packaging is simple and elegant, a black shiny tube with Shiseido watermark on one side. Nothing fancy because here not the packaging is the star but the new lip gloss formula. It comes with a doe-foot applicator.

Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in RS404 (6ml / .2 fl oz) is a rich pink raspberry with blue undertones, very pigmented and with a rich creamy texture. Honestly for me this feels like a combination between a lipstick which can deliver an opaque color and has a creamy texture and a lip gloss with super shiny finish and lightweight texture. It gives a deep lustre and intense color hydrating even the rough lips. The lips are plumped and the texture even though is similar with a melted lipstick is lightweight. It doesn’t sink into lips, it’s not sticky and it’s very easy to wear. Continue reading ‘Shiseido Lacquer Rouge RS404 for Fall 2012 – Review, Photos & Lip Swatches’

Orly Glowstick Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on May 20, 2012 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: chic review, nail polish, nail polish review, Orly.

Hello lovelies!

I will end the review series of Orly Feel the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (info & nail swatches) with Orly Glowstick nail polish which I received from Orly Romania last week for review purposes. The Mani Minis collection contains only 4 neon shades in mini bottles of 5.3 ml / .18 fl oz for the price of 20.00 Lei unlike the 6 neon shades in full size bottles of 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz retailing for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei from Orly Feel the Vibe Summer 2012 Collection (info, promo photos & nail swatches).

Orly Glowstick Nail Polish is a bright yellow neon with green undertones, something very similar with an yellow marker. The color is very sheer and transparent after the second coat so the second coat of color is definitely a must. After the second coat the color is still pretty transparent and sheer, only a little bit more vibrant. Being a neon shade it will look more opaque in the evening, or whenever the light is not that bright. Continue reading ‘Orly Glowstick Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches’

Orly Skinny Dip Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on May 20, 2012 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: chic review, nail polish, nail polish review, Orly.

Hello sweeties!

Orly Skinny Dip Nail Polish is part of Orly Feel the Vibe Summer 2012 Collection (info, promo photos & swatches) which has been released last month. I received from Orly Romania their Orly Fell the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (info & swatches) which contains only 4 of the colors from the original Feel the Vibe Collection. Each mani minis bottle contains 5.3 ml / .18 fl oz for 20.00 Lei compared to the full size bottles which have 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz and retail for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei.

Orly Skinny Dip nail polish is described as an electric light blue. It surely seems like an electric light blue water shade with fine iridescent silver and turquoise particles. The texture is very light, almost watery and it dries almost instantly once applied. The color looks quite transparent in one coat and the color is not spread evenly on the nail leaving some sheerer spots from place to place. A second coat is definitely needed to even the color and lines left behind after the first coat but the color is still a bit transparent and is not evenly spread on the nail.

Orly Melt Your Popsicle Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on May 18, 2012 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: chic review, nail polish, nail polish review, Orly.

Hello beauties!

Orly Melt Your Popsicle is another great color choice for summer and is one of the shades included in the Orly Feel the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (nail swatches, photos & info). I’m saying this color is part of the Mani Minis collection because I received it in a 5.3 ml/ .18 fl oz bottle which retails for 20.00 Lei unlike the normal size of 18 ml/ 0.6 fl oz for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei which is part of Orly Feel the Vibe Summer 2012 Nail Polish Collection (info, swatches & promo photos).

Melt Your Popsicle is a bright orange coraly neon quite transparent in one coat and semi-transparent in 2 coats. The texture is very light and fluid making the polish to dry almost instantly on your nails. The only problem I had with the application was a few lines noticeable after the first coat but the second coat managed to even the color and leave a semi-matte finish. The brush it’s quite small (considering it’s a mini size nail polish) so I had to dip it in a few times to get a good coverage.

Orly Beach Cruiser Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on May 18, 2012 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: chic review, nail polish, nail polish review, Orly.

Hello lovelies!

Orly Beach Cruiser Nail Polish is part of the Orly Feel the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (photos & nail swatches). I received the entire collection from Orly Romania last week and as a dedicated fan of pink colors Beach Cruiser was the first one I’ve tried.

I received Orly Beach Cruiser in a mini bottle of 5.3 ml / .18 fl oz for 20.00 Lei while the full size bottle is 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz and retails for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei. The color is a bright fuchsia with a semi-matte finish which looks rather sheer if it’s applied in one coat and still a little bit transparent in two coats. The texture is very light and creamy so the polish will be dried in seconds, which is one of the things I love about neon colors.

The application went fine without pooling, bubbling or streaking but it took me longer to apply the color because of the mini brush which must be dipped in several times to get a nice coverage. Continue reading ‘Orly Beach Cruiser Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches’

Published on May 15, 2012 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: 2012 Spring Collection, chic review, Kinetics, nail polish collection.

Hello lovelies!

I finally finished reviewing the entire Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (photos & nail swatches) well with a minor exception of the Secret Garden nail polish which I didn’t received. I first posted about this collection info & promo photos in February 2012 and only later on in the mid of March I received the polishes from Kinetics to test and review them.

I know it took me about 2 months to finish reviewing the entire collection but besides the 4-5 days necessary for each nail polish, you know I reviewed first Kinetics Neon Spring 2012 Nail Polish Collection (review round-up) which also contains 6 colors so it was a lot of work.

Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection is available in U.S. (@kineticsnails.com) since February 2012, Internationally (at Kinetics nail salons and @margaritabelska.com) since March 2012 and in Romania since end of March 2012 (@kiriloff.ro and dedicated Kinetics nail salons). You can check out my post about Kinetics online shops if you are interested in these products. Continue reading ‘Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review Round-Up’
